Talking Carb advice

I want to thank all who have given info on my efi to carb swap, you guys are the greatest!!
Now, how about choices on a carb. I want manual choke, and want to use it for street/cruising, not racing. To put on my '89 5.0 with AOD transmission. Brands dont matter . Gimme some ideas folks!!!!!!!

Why a manual choke? PITA

I like Road Demon carbs, for that combo a Demon Jr 525 vacuum secondary would be just right. Or an Edelbrock 500. Sure is easy to change rods on an Edelbrock...

You will probably get a million opinions as to the best carb. I have had great luck with the street avenger series from holley. around 600 cfm should fit the bill.
